well it`s simple. Microsoft first thought that the xbox will bring them easy mony. But when the xbox was hacked after a few weeks there money was simply gone so yes they had to make the xbox cheaper for sale and the needed to lower the cost price of the console. I heard that the sale price is below the cost price of the console but i don`t believe it. Can hardly believe that the xbox is so expensive to make. I`m sure microsoft still wins monoy with the thing
